The Monarchy in Quebec is a legal entity formally known as the Crown in Right of Quebec (French: couronne du chef du Québec), which serves as the institution from which executive power flows within the province of Quebec, forming the core of the province's Westminster system of constitutional monarchy.

As the monarch does not reside in Quebec, a vice-regal representative, the Lieutenant Governor of Quebec, is appointed to carry out all the monarch's duties in the province.

Constitutional monarchy in Quebec

Samuel de Champlain, first Governor General of New France.

Within the Canadian constitutional monarchy system the headship of state is not a part of either the federal or provincial jurisdictions; the Queen reigns impartially over the country as a whole. However, due to Canada's federal nature, each province in Canada, as with the federal government, derives its authority and sovereignty directly from the one Canadian monarch, meaning there effectively exists within the country eleven legally distinct crowns with one sovereign. Thus, Quebec has a separate government headed by the Queen; however, as a province, Quebec is not itself a monarchy. Samuel de Champlain, portrait 1870, public domain. ...

Quebec sovereignty and the Crown

During an interview in Saskatchewan, Parti Québécois leader, René Lévesque, when asked if there would be any role for the monarchy in a sovereign Quebec, stated: "Are you joking? Why? I have great respect for the Queen... but what the hell part should monarchy have in Quebec?" However, University of Toronto Professor Richard Toporoski held the theory that a sovereign, not independent, Quebec would still be under the sovereignty of the Queen; "...the real problem of the Quebec bill is not separation from Canada: Quebec has said that it wishes to preserve common elements - Canadian currency (issued officially by whom? - the Queen of Canada), for example, and the possibility of Quebec citizens being Canadian citizens (and who are Canadian citizens? - subjects of the Queen)."^[2] Motto: Multis E Gentibus Vires (Latin: The Strength of Many Peoples) Capital Regina Largest city Saskatoon Official languages English Government - Lieutenant-Governor Gordon Barnhart - Premier Lorne Calvert (NDP) Federal representation in Canadian Parliament - House seats 14 - Senate seats 6 Confederation September 1, 1905 (Split from NWT) (9th (province)) Area  Ranked...

History

Francis I, by Jean Clouet

European settlement of the area that is today Quebec was begun with the 1534 claim, by Jacques Cartier, in the name of King Francis I, of an area now known as the Gaspé Peninsula. He continued to explore up the Saint Lawrence River to the areas where Montreal and Quebec City presently sit. By 1541, Jean-François de la Roque de Roberval was charged by the King as Lieutenant of New France, and given the responsibility to build a new colony in America. Attempts at permanent settlement, however, failed, until Henry V sponsored Samuel de Champlain's founding of Quebec in 1608, with six families totaling 28 people. By 1627, Champlain was installed as the first Governor General of New France, and the system was arranged in such a manner where he answered to French Secretary of State of the Navy and the Controller General of Finance.

In 1663, New France was proclaimed a province of France by Louis XIV, and two years following he sent a French garrison, the Carignan-Salières regiment, to Quebec.

Between 1689 and 1713 the French and British battled over their North American territories, through King William's War and Queen Anne's War, after which a terse peace reigned. New France continued to flourish, with a King's Highway (or Chemin du Roi) being built between Montreal and Quebec City. The peace ended, however, in 1744, with an invasion of French territory by Massachusetts Governor William Shirley, and did not return until the French and Indian War ended with the Treaty of Paris in 1763, when nearly all the lands of New France were ceded by the French to the then British Crown in exchange for Guadaloupe. The first of the French and Indian Wars, King Williams War (1689–1697) , was the North American theater of the War of the Grand Alliance (1688–1697) fought principally in Europe between the armies of France under Louis XIV and those of a coalition of European powers including England. ...

On October 7, 1763, a Royal Proclamation laid out the policy of Great Britain regarding its newly acquired colonies of America; the three Quebec districts were united into the Province of Quebec. James Murray was appointed the first Governor of the new province, and in 1764 the first civil courts were established. That same year, French-Canadian landlords and merchants submit a first petition requesting that the orders of the King be available in the French language and that they be allowed to participate in the government.

Ten years later, George III gave Royal Assent to the Quebec Act, which gave French Canadians continued use of their French civil law, and recognized the Roman Catholic Church in Quebec, with the continuation of its right to legally collect tithes. This Act undermined the American revolutionaries' plans to gain the support of Quebecers, who saw their rights being more protected under the Crown than in an independent American republic ^{[citation needed]}. In 1792, when the first elections for the Legislative assembly took place, Prince Edward was living in Quebec. When a riot, fueled by ethic character, broke out at one of the polls the Prince climbed up to where he could be heard and addressed the crowd, stating: "Part then in peace. I urge you to unanimity and accord. Let me hear no more of the odious distinctions of English and French. You are all His Britannic Majesty's beloved Canadian subjects."

After the irruption of the American Revolution, in which some Quebecers aided the revolutionaries, approximately 46,000 people loyal to the Crown, dubbed Loyalists, fled the United States to the British colonies, including the Province of Quebec, where the Crown granted each family 200 acres (0.8 km²) of land, mostly in the Eastern Townships. Their arrival led to the eventual creation of the provinces of Upper Canada West of the Ottawa river and Lower Canada, the forerunner to the modern day Quebec, when Quebec was split through the Constitutional Act of 1791.

Into the early 1800s, the population began to grow wary of the ability of the Lieutenant Governor and his Council to dismiss the legislation passed by the elected Legislative Assembly. The Patriotes formed as a political party, led by Louis-Joseph Papineau, and campaigned for responsible government. Their demands were disregarded by the Lieutenant-Governor, Lord Gosford, an act which eventually led to the Lower Canada Rebellion^{[citation needed]}. Following this, Responsible self-government was established by the Crown. This altered the nature of the Lieutenant Governor's role - he was now both a representative of the Crown bound to almost always follow the advice of his Prime Minister, but he remained a representative in Canada East of the Imperial Government in London, meaning the Queen could disallow any colonial legislation on the advice of her British ministers. In 1860, Queen Victoria's son, Prince Albert embarked on a three month tour of the Canadian provinces, including a raft run of the timber sides of the Chaudière River.^[8] Flag used by the Patriotes between 1832 and 1838 The Lower Canada Rebellion is the name given to the armed conflict between the rebels of Lower Canada (now Quebec) and the British colonial power of that province. ...

King George VI and Queen Elizabeth were the first reigning monarchs to come to Canada, landing at Quebec City on the Canadian Pacific ship RMS Empress of Australia.

Through the 1960s and 70s, the rise of Quebec nationalism and changes in Canadian identity created an atmosphere where the purpose and role of the Canadian Monarchy came into question. During a visit to Quebec in 1964, at the height of the Quiet Revolution, the Quebec press published reports of a separatist plot to assassinate the Queen, and the sentiment became pronounced when she was greeted by anti-monarchist demonstrations; the route of her procession was lined with Quebecers showing their backs to the Monarch. On Samedi de la matraque (Truncheon Saturday), police violently dispersed anti-monarchist demonstrators and arrested 36, including some who were there to cheer the Queen.^[11] During that same visit, in a speech to the Quebec Legislature, she ignored the national controversy in favour of praising Canada's two "complementary cultures", speaking, in both French and English, about the strength of Canada's two founding peoples, stating, "I am pleased to think that there exists in our Commonwealth a country where I can express myself officially in French," and, "whenever you sing [the French words of] 'O Canada' you are reminded that you come of a proud race."^[7][12] Quebec nationalism is the subject of many international studies together with the contemporary nationalism of Scotland, Catalonia and other non-sovereign regions of the world. ...

At the first meeting of the Constitutional Conference, held in Ottawa in February, 1968, delegates from Quebec indicated that a Provincial President might suit the Province better than a Lieutenant Governor. However, there was overall a feeling that the Monarchy "has served us well and that its reform has no great priority in the present round of constitutional changes."^[13]

Queen Elizabeth II opened the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal. Many Quebec nationalists and sovereigntists complained about the sovereign's role in officially opening the Games. Robert Bourassa, then Premier of Quebec, pushed Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau to invite the Queen to the games; though, Trudeau, after obliging him, became annoyed when Bourassa later became unsettled about how unpopular the move might be.^[14] Then leader of the Parti Québécois, René Lévesque, sent a letter to the Queen asking that she turn down the invitation; she did not oblige this request as she was acting on the advice of her federal prime minister.^[15] The 1976 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XXI Olympiad, were held in 1976 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. ...

In 1995, during a separatist referendum campaign, 29-year-old Pierre Brassard, a DJ for Radio CKOI-FM Montreal, tricked her into speaking with him, in both French and English, for 14 minutes, pretending to be Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chrétien. When told that the separatists were showing a lead, the Queen did reveal that she felt the "referendum may go the wrong way," adding, "if I can help in any way, I will be very happy to do so". However, she pointedly refused to accept "Chrétien's" advice that she intervene on the issue without first seeing a draft speech sent by him. Her tactful handling of the call won plaudits from the DJ. At the time of the referendum, the Queen was on her way to a Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Auckland, New Zealand, and asked the pilot of her plane, which had landed at Los Angeles for refueling, not to take off until she had heard the results of the vote.^[16] Pierre Brassard is a radio broadcaster from Radio CKOI-FM (Montreal, Canada), famous for his phone call hoaxes. ...

First Nations and the Crown

Unlike relations between the British Crown and First Nations, which was founded on a nation-to-nation basis, the French monarchs saw all their lands in North America as held by them in totality, including those which were occupied by aborigionals, and did not admit the claims of the Indians to the lands in the province. However, the French Crown did set aside certain lands within its jurisdiction for exclusive use by First Nations; for example, from 1716, lands north and west of the manorials on the Saint Lawrence River were designated as forbidden to settlement and clearing of land, without the express authorization of the Crown. These lands were known as the pays d'enhaut, or, "Indian country." Also, as with the British Crown and Six Nations Iroquois in British North America, the French Crown allied itself with Algonquins in New France until the abandonment of this alliance in 1760.^[17] This article is about the monarchy of the United Kingdom, one of sixteen that share a common monarch; for information about this constitutional relationship, see Commonwealth realm; for information on the reigning monarch, see Elizabeth II.

It was at this time, as the lands of the French Crown were captured or ceeded to the British monarch, that confusion began to arise over how First Nations in Quebec were to be treated. The capitulation of Montreal, signed on September 8, 1760, demonstrated, in article 40 of the agreement, that the First Nations were still considered subjects of Louis XV, and would become subjects of the King of Great Britain: Nickname: Motto: Concordia Salus (well-being through harmony) Coordinates: , Country Province Region Montréal Founded 1642 Established 1832 Government  - Mayor Gérald Tremblay Area [1][2][3]  - City 365. ...

Frederick Haldimand, Governor of Quebec, affirmed First Nation's rights under the Royal Proclamation of 1763.

However, by that date the First Nations had already abandoned their alliance with the French monarch and turned to King George III: the Hurons of Lorette two days before the fall of Montreal, and the Algonquin Nation, along with eight other tribes, had ratified a treaty at Fort Lévis in mid-August of 1760. Thus, the Indian Nations of Quebec ceased to be subjects of the French king and became allies of the British Crown. As Governor of Quebec Sir Frederick Haldimand said at the end of the American Revolution in 1783: "[the Indian Nations] consider themselves, and in fact are, free and independent, unacquainted with control and subordination, their Passions and Conduct are alone to be governed by Persuasion and Address." Further, the King instructed General Jeffrey Amherst, 1st Baron Amherst in 1760-61, that the aborigionals were to be treated "upon the same principles of humanity and proper indulgence" as the French; and Amherst was to "cultivate the best possible Harmony and Friendship with the Chiefs of the Indian Tribes."^[17] Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

Still, the conflict between the French and British traditions of dealing with First Nations, compounded by the continuance of French-style civil code in Quebec by King George III, caused the relations between the Crown and First Nations in Quebec to be viewed as non-parallel to that which existed in the other Canadian provinces. Further, the British North America Act stipulated that responsibility for "Indians and lands reserved far the Indians" within the province was to be entrusted to the Crown in Right of Canada,^[18] Quebec was given authority over lands and resources within its boundaries, subject to any "interest other than that of the province in the same"; it was a commonly held that First Nations title was such an interest. Due to all these factors, as early as 1906, federal treaty negotiators were explaining to Algonquins in Quebec that the federal Crown could only organize treaties with Algonquin in Ontario. Consequently, since 1867 it has been the Crown in Right of Quebec that has guided settlement and development of Algonquin lands, with the permission of the Crown in Right of Canada, leading to criticism by First Nations leaders of the Crown's exercise of its duties within Quebec.^[17] For other uses of civil law, see civil law. ... “George III” redirects here. ...

Quebec's First Nations today still view their treaties as being agreements directly between them and the Crown, not with the ever-changing government of Canada. The Royal Proclamation of 1763 made clear that the First Nations were autonomous political units and affirmed their title to lands. The proclamation was officially promulgated within the new Province of Quebec by Governor James Murray, after which the King ordered Sir William Johnson to make the proclamation known to the Indian Nations within the territories under his jurisdiction. The provisions of the proclamation were observed within the Province of Quebec. For example, in 1766 His Majesty's Privy Council in London endorsed a grant of 20,000 acres to Joseph Marie Philibot at a location of his choosing. However, Philibot asked for land on the Restigouche River, a request that was denied by the Governor and Council of Quebec on the grounds "the lands so prayed to be assigned are, or are claimed to be, the property of the Indians and as such by His Majesty's express command as set forth in his proclamation in 1763, not within their power to grant."^[17] The Supreme Court of Canada ruled in favour of the First Nations' view in 1990, stating in Sparrow v.

A modern demonstration of the relationship between the First Nations and the Crown was seen in 1997, when the Innu people of Quebec and Labrador presented a letter of grievance over stalled land claim negotiations to Queen Elizabeth II, rather than to Prime Minister Jean Chrétien, while the two were visiting Sheshatshiu, Newfoundland and Labrador.^[19] After speaking with Tanien Ashini, Vice-President of the Innu Nation, the Queen handed the list to the Prime Minister for the Cabinet to address.
